New features and launches in ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity and other AI tools, plus changes to pricing and availability.
Wajo just launched Fo, a proactive action agent armed with its own email address, phone number, and single-use credit cards to make calls, book appointments, and handle payments for you. When software hits a real-world wall, Fo simply routes the job to human experts to finish the task. It is currently available with a free daily tier and invite-only alpha.
NVIDIA just rolled out DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, powered by a second-generation transformer model to dramatically sharpen ray-traced and path-traced graphics. The neural rendering update is already live across 30 games via the NVIDIA app, cutting down ghosting artifacts. NVIDIA also previewed RTX Mega Geometry, bringing full-detail Nanite ray tracing to upcoming titles.
ChatGPT Work and Codex just rolled out a handy new $visualize command. By typing $visualize alongside any text or data, the interface turns your prompt into a visual diagram. It is an effortless upgrade for visual thinkers tired of staring at walls of text.
Google Cloud just launched Gemini Enterprise for Financial Services, bringing a dedicated research agent and over 50 role-specific skills to corporate banking and capital markets. The system connects directly to data feeds from FactSet, S&P Global, and SEC Edgar with verifiable audit trails. Deutsche Bank and CME Group are already testing it in preview.
Google Cloud just unveiled Gemini Enterprise for Legal, a purpose-built agentic platform designed to automate complex law firm workflows. The tool handles contract reviews, brief drafting, and citation checks while plugging directly into platforms like Thomson Reuters and Harvey. Top firms including Cleary and Freshfields are already on board to test it.
Perplexity just plugged its Computer agent platform into more than 20 licensed finance data sources, including Dun & Bradstreet, Guidepoint, and IBISWorld. Finance teams can now query their existing paid subscriptions in plain English without juggling separate logins, with every figure linked directly to its source record. It cuts out the tedious copy-paste across terminal windows for high-stakes research.
Anthropic just connected Claude's memory across Chat and Cowork, letting background context seamlessly flow between conversations and cloud tasks. Instead of post-chat summaries, Claude now updates memory files in real time as you chat, which you can edit or delete topic by topic. Sensitive subjects like health and politics stay off by default. It is live now across web, desktop, and mobile.
OpenAI just launched an Admin plugin for ChatGPT Work and Codex, letting workspace admins manage permissions, member access, and spending limits directly inside a conversation. It turns natural prompts into authorized console actions and routes approvals to Slack or Teams—where OpenAI says its own IT desk already resolves roughly 45% of tickets automatically.
Perplexity just introduced Computer, a local-first agent framework designed to run compact models like Qwen directly on user hardware. By default, conversations, trajectory, and tool execution stay completely on-device in an OS-level sandbox, cutting API token costs to zero. When a problem gets too tough, it asks permission to escalate to a cloud frontier model like Claude Opus 5. Why it matters: it offers a blueprint for agentic workflows where companies can safeguard sensitive IP without sacrificing frontier reasoning.
Meta is reportedly gearing up to launch Hatch, a consumer AI agent platform that can navigate sites like DoorDash and Reddit, within weeks. The company also aims to drop a new Watermelon model in October, alongside a premium tier reportedly priced at up to $199.99 per month.
OpenAI just integrated its GPT-5.6 family—Sol, Terra, and Luna—into AWS's AI-native software development agent Kiro. By combining the models with Kiro's spec-driven workflow to convert requirements into structured tasks, GPT-5.6 Terra achieved an 82% cost reduction on Terminal-Bench 2.1. It basically means teams get cleaner implementations with far fewer wasted tokens.
Google just launched Antigravity 2.0 featuring Remote Control, letting developers manage AI coding agents across multiple machines from any web browser. Users keep full access to local files, environments, and credentials without being glued to their desks, while push notifications ping them when an agent needs human input.
OpenAI just launched an Apple Messages plugin for ChatGPT on Mac, allowing users to search chat history, catch up on conversations, and draft or send replies. It can also cross-check your calendar to propose meeting times and flag spam. The feature is available now on desktop for ChatGPT Work and Codex.
Black Forest Labs just launched FLUX Video Upscale, a new standalone tool and API endpoint that regenerates generated video up to native 4K. It fixes flaws like smeared faces and gridded texture artifacts, offering both a fast Precise mode and a detail-heavy Creative mode. Why it matters: it makes raw AI video output clean enough for broadcast and campaign standards without complex post-production.
Ramp just launched Router, an AI model routing service that lets companies switch between models like OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek through a single API. Built on three years of internal use, it features benchmark-driven query routing and a real-time token spend dashboard. It is currently U.S.-only, free through the end of 2026, and comes with a $26 launch credit.
Murf AI just released Falcon 2, a text-to-speech model priced at $0.01 per minute—one-fifth the cost of ElevenLabs. It clocks response times under 100 milliseconds and scored ahead of OpenAI's Realtime API on Artificial Analysis benchmarks. Supporting over 35 languages and 10,000 concurrent calls, it aims to slash the cost of running real-time enterprise voice agents.
Meta just rolled out Pocket to all US users, an experimental app that lets anyone vibe-code bite-sized interactive games using simple AI prompts. The mini-games—dubbed "gizmos"—can respond to phone tilts, touch, sound effects, and personal photos, and are shared in a scrollable feed where others can remix them.
Sakana AI just upgraded its free Sakana Translate tool to run on the next-gen Sakana Namazu model. It focuses heavily on nuanced Japanese culture and context, handling tricky cultural terms like "Omiyamairi" better than generic models, and won over 50% of head-to-head matches against rivals across 160 Japanese-to-English tests.
Google just expanded AI Max in Google Ads with new A/B testing and Performance Planner tools set to roll out in September. Advertisers can now test varying budgets and ROI targets across multiple Search campaigns in a single run while keeping brand and location controls intact, alongside one-click bid simulation updates.
Anthropic just made Computer Use, the Skills API, and the Files API generally available on the Claude Platform. The release includes a new Browser Use tool that reads DOM page structure rather than relying purely on screenshots, alongside multi-action turns that speed up task completion. Paired with 1 TB of document storage and an instruction sandbox, it turns Claude from an experimental bot into a HIPAA-eligible production agent for enterprise workflows.
